How do I convince my friend not to go into data science/machine learning?

tell him to watch a skynet supercut
Grow the fuck up, you childish piece of shit.
Is he a CS major?
CS majors always fail after a course or two because they can't into math.

Let him do what he wants, you piece of shit.
Data science/ML is quite appealing these days. Your best bet is to see if there is another area he likes better.
Not quite sure why you'd want to dissuade him though.
why does he need to be into it?
actually, let me clarify my question: why do you need him to be into it?
you guys need therapy, /g/. this isn't autism. it's something more serious.

Give them an AI textbook
the most important point to argue is that the fucking everything about gaining a fucking figure of salary is not worrying about your major and just taking the time to earn your internships and experience. you need it at freshman. you need to do everything to stop yourself from wasting the time you need on the majors and focusing your time on the actual less confusing future.

This.
He needs to take,
Calculus I-III
Linear Algebra
Discrete Mathematics
Probability (w/ Calculus)
Statistics
Data Structures
Algorithms
Theory of Computation
More Statistics
Graduate level Machine Learning Course
Bare Minimum. I'd argue he should also take Abstract Algebra & Real Analysis
